Instagram star turned rapper Cardi B. is having a really good week, first landing herself a spot on Billboard’s top ten chart with her new single – and then celebrating the achievement by buying a herself a bright orange Bentley worth a whopping $240,000.  

The 24-year-old star saw her single Bodak Yellow move into the top 10 of the Billboard’s Hot 100 chart this week and soon after revealed she had treated herself to a Bentley Bentayga, paying cash for the over-the-top vehicle.

‘Work soo hard for this BIG B right here!!! And I cashed out on it, straight bought the s***,’ wrote the rapper on Instagram, while posting a video of herself showing off her new car.

‘I got a new car!’ she sings excitedly in the video, dancing around in front of the new Bentley, before walking around to the door to show off the inside of the expensive car.

Once seated in her luxurious new vehicle, Cardi B happily revealed some extremely bright orange interiors, giving her fans a quick tour of the inside of her car, while playing her song Bodak Yellow on the radio.

The rapper and former Love & Hip Hop NY star, who has greatly grown her fan base through social media in recent years – amassing more than 8.5 million followers on Instagram alone, later admitted that she had to pay in full for the car because she doesn’t have a license.

‘I had to buy it ’cause I don’t have a f****** license, so I had to cash out,’ explained the rapper, who’s real name is Belcalis Almanzar.

All paid for: The rapper later revealed on Instagram live that she paid in full for the car because, as a New Yorker, she’s never driven and has no licence

Cardi B.’s great week: The New Yorker’s single Bodak Yellow’s moved into the top 10 of the Billboard’s Hot 100 chart this week

Girl power: The rapper is the first female rapper to have a solo hit on the top 10 Billboard charts since Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda in 2014.

She reminded her fans that she’s a born and raised New Yorker who never had to deal with driving before.

‘I don’t know how to drive but how you expect me to know how to drive when I took the train my whole life?’ Cardi B. said on Instagram live.

But now that she has money to blow, a license is just an insignificant document standing between her and her expensive ride.

And to prove that fact to her followers, Cardi B. was even filmed driving her Bentley through New York City, apparently not worried about her lack of appropriate paperwork.

For all her bravado, however, the rapper did start freaking out when she spotted the police.
